Maybe the Pop and Soda users can at least band together to get Coke removed forever before returning to their own fight. I don't know really know which of those two I prefer, but it is insane to refer to a Mountain Dew as a Coke.

    Have you ever asked for a root beer and been given a Dr pepper?

    Just the other day, I tried to order a root beer at a taco bell and the guy said they didn't have it, did I want a dr pepper instead. I was speechless for a second because it was so baffling that he thought that was the closest replacement.

    Then he listed the other options and I got a Baja blast, not because it's the closest thing to root beer but because hearing that one reminded me that I don't really care that they don't carry root beer.

    Though still, wtf @ them not carrying root beer.

    And Taco Bell sells pepsi so if they did have root beer, you'd have gotten Mug which is better than Barqs. Jersey Mikes is great because they sell Stubborn root beer (a Pepsi "craft" brand) which is pretty good for a crafty pop.

    It's not all that different from Kleenex, Scotch tape, Xerox, etc. Sometimes brand names become the common name for a product.

    A Kleenex and any different facial tissue are very similar. A Coke and an Orange carbonated beverage are very different.
